The climate crisis is an emergency and an urgent threat that must be combated now. Floods in Nebraska and Iowa and strong hurricanes in the Southeast are proof that the United States is not exempt from the impacts of the climate crisis.

97 of 100 scientists say that the climate crisis is real and human-caused. The Climate Action Tracker ranks the action of the US government on climate change as "Critically Insufficient" - the worst ranking that they provide.

Because the climate crisis is an emergency, the US government must declare a state of emergency due to the climate crisis. This will allow activists like you to sue the US government if it fails to act on the climate crisis.

Let's phase out fossil fuels in the United States and usher in a green economy. Sign the petition to demand that the US government declares a climate emergency! Share this far and wide, and, if you can, chip in the price of a cup of coffee to get this petition on change.org's agenda and attract new supporters!
